Plus Size Mommys - When did you show?
I am currently a size 20 and it's my first pregnancy... Wondering when my bump will actually show up? I know everyone is different, but just wondering when other big beautiful and pregnant women started showing? Also, when did you first feel the baby move (I hear it happens later...)?

Re: Plus Size Mommys - When did you show?
Edit: I felt movement around 22 weeks. I don't know that being overweight prior to being pregnant (or during pregnancy) affects when you feel the baby. You will feel them moving in your uterus, but others may have a hard time feeling from the outside later on. Towards the end I could see her moving around just fine and it was cool.

With my first, I started really showing around 20 weeks. That's when my tummy started becoming a baby bump. After that, it never slowed down. This time around, I am carrying some left over pregnancy tummy weight and am thinking that it might take a little longer to start showing. Although, I hear with your second pregnancy, you tend to show earlier.
I also started feeling the baby move around the same time. My doctor told me, though, that weight has nothing to do with when you start feeling the baby move and I found that to be true.
Good luck!
Before i had gotten pregnant, I was a size 16/18. Now I'm almost 7 wks (tomorrow) and I am in a size 24. I pray to goodness that I am just bloated but you never know nowadays. Also, I have yet to feel the baby move since I'm so early but I heard that it occurs around the 14th-16th week? Keep smiling!
With my first, i was a size 18 when i got pregnant. I didn't show until nearly 30 weeks. But when I did, I 'popped'. I went from no show to looking pregnant literally overnight. I felt the baby move the first time at about 26 weeks.

I have in DS's baby book that I could feel him move for sure at 14 weeks. I have that DH felt him move on the outside about 25 weeks. I didn't start really showing where other people could tell until about 20/21 weeks. I was about a size 20 when I was pregnant with him.
